Piedmont Retina Specialists

In the face of unprecedented change, Piedmont Retina Specialists intends to remain open, and we are committed to serving and protecting our patients and staff. While we will continue to see and treat patients, the manner in which we do so will be significantly different.

Here’s what we are doing:

1. Keeping our doors open to see acute and time-sensitive retina emergencies.
2. Maintaining patient access to vision saving injections.
3. Vastly reducing patient volume to allow for proper social distancing.
4. Alternating our clinic schedule to minimize patient to patient exposure.
5. Deferring testing and examinations as much as possible to enable the shortest clinic visit possible for our patients.
6. Implementing additional hygiene measures to lower the risk of transmission.

Here is what you can do:

1. Defer your appointment if you are not an injection patient or not having a crisis.
2. Cancel your appointment if you have any symptoms of fever, cough, congestion, or shortness of breath. Or if you have had any exposure to sick individuals, or are returning from a high risk trip (air travel, cruise, etc.) in the past 14 days.
3. Call and let us know if you do NOT intend to show. We are trying to accommodate everyone and also reduce volume in the office. As such, space on our schedule is extremely valuable to your fellow patients.
4. Bring your own pens, and take them with you.
5. Understand that patients should be by themselves (no accompanying family members) in the clinic unless absolutely necessary.
6. If you are an established patient and are having vision trouble, please contact us for any questions or concerns.
